* John W. Watt, " Greek historiography and the ' Chronicle of Joshua the Stylite '," in Idem, Rhetoric and Philosophy from Greek into Syriac ( Aldershot, Ashgate Variorum, 2010 ) ( Variorum Collected Studies, CS960 ),

Its authorship has been attributed by some scholars to Joshua the Stylite, a monk of the monastery of Zuqnin who is known to have written a Syriac history ; but this identification, while plausible, is not certain.

Byzantine accounts of the episode ( Joshua the Stylite and Procopius ) mention that Kavadh was deposed because of his determination to spread a new " religion " that preached redistribution of property.

Emperor Anastasius, after his victories over the Persians in 505, entrusted Sergius, Bishop of Birtha, with the work of repairing the city ( Wright, ed., The Chronicle of Joshua the Stylite, XCI, lxxi ), an undertaking that was completed by Justinian ( Procop., De ædific.

“ And that Christ being Lord, and God the Son of God, and appearing formerly in power as Man, and Angel, and in the glory of fire as at the bush, so also was manifested at the judgment executed on Sodom, has been demonstrated fully by what has been said .” Then I repeated once more all that I had previously quoted from Exodus, about the vision in the bush, and the naming of Joshua ( Jesus ), and continued: “ And do not suppose, sirs, that I am speaking superfluously when I repeat these words frequently: but it is because I know that some wish to anticipate these remarks, and to say that the power sent from the Father of all which appeared to Moses, or to Abraham, or to Jacob, is called an Angel because He came to men ( for by Him the commands of the Father have been proclaimed to men ); is called Glory, because He appears in a vision sometimes that cannot be borne ; is called a Man, and a human being, because He appears arrayed in such forms as the Father pleases ; and they call Him the Word, because He carries tidings from the Father to men: but maintain that this power is indivisible and inseparable from the Father, just as they say that the light of the sun on earth is indivisible and inseparable from the sun in the heavens ; as when it sinks, the light sinks along with it ; so the Father, when He chooses, say they, causes His power to spring forth, and when He chooses, He makes it return to Himself.

Although officially denied by the Nigerian government, Nigeria is known to have also provided secret military training at the Kaduna first mechanized army division and provided other material support to Joshua Nkomo and Robert Mugabe's guerrilla forces during the Rhodesian Bush War ( Renamed Zimbabwe in 1979 ) of independence against white minority rule of Prime Minister Ian Douglas Smith which was armed and financed by the regime in South Africa.

One of those statues had been made by Donatello in 1410, a figure of Joshua made of terracotta, and a second, also a terracotta, but this time of Hercules, was commissioned from the Florentine sculptor Agostino di Duccio in 1463 ; scholars suggest that Agostino was working under Donatello's direction.

First mentioned in the story of Joseph ( Genesis 50: 9 ), " Iron chariots " are mentioned also in Joshua ( 17: 16, 18 ) and Judges ( 1: 19, 4: 3, 13 ) as weapons of the Canaanites.

* A sacerdotal city of Benjamin ( 1 Chronicles 6: 60 ), called also Almon ( Joshua 21: 18 ), now Almit, a mile north-east of the ancient Anathoth.

There is some evidence for this link, namely that Zerubbabel was the governor of Judah at the time of Zechariah, he was frequently associated with Joshua ( Ezra 3. 2, 3: 8 ), and he is also described as the Temple builder ( Zech 4. 9 ).

Ephron is believed to be the Ophrah that was also allocated to the Tribe of Benjamin by Joshua.

However, the transition between these two theories met much resistance, not only from Christian theologians, who were reluctant to reject a theory that was in agreement with Bible passages ( e. g. " Sun, stand you still upon Gibeon ", Joshua 10: 12-King James 2000 Bible ), but also from those who saw geocentrism as an accepted consensus that could not be subverted by a new, unknown theory.

There is also a disagreement among classical rabbinical writers as to when the manna ceased, particularly in regard to whether it remained after the death of Moses for a further 40 days, 70 days, or 14 years ; indeed, according to Joshua ben Levi, the manna ceased to appear at the moment that Moses died.

Yehiel's primary defence was that Yeshu in rabbinic literature was a disciple of Joshua ben Perachiah, and not to be confused with Jesus ( Vikkuah Rabbenu Yehiel mi-Paris ).

notes that the spelling Yeshu is found on one ossuary, Rahmani 9, which supports that the name Yeshu was not invented as a way of avoiding pronouncing the name Yeshua or Yehoshua in relation to Jesus, but that it may still be that rabbinical use of Yeshu was intended to distinguish Jesus from rabbis bearing the biblical name " Joshua ," Yehoshua.

Foote and Wheeler considered that the name " Yeshu " was simply a shortened form the name " Yehoshua " or Joshua.

In Sanhedrin 107b and Sotah 47a a Yeshu is mentioned as a student of Joshua ben Perachiah who was sent away for misinterpreting a word that in context should have been understood as referring to the Inn, he instead understood it to mean the inkeeper's wife.

The first was his uncle Titus, who was blamed for the destruction of the Second Temple ; the second was the seer Balaam, hired by Balak king of Moab to curse Israel ; and the last was Yeshu, a name used for those who sought to lead Jews astray to idolatry, in particular an idolatrous former student of Rabbi Joshua ben Perachiah in the Hasmonean period as well as king Manasseh of Judah.

However, in all early Hebrew or Aramaic sources, the name " Jesus "/" Jeshua " actually appears as yod-shin-waw -` ayin ישוע Yeshua ( or as the related longer form of the same name, yod-he-waw-shin -` ayin יהושע " Joshua "; or as the intentionally altered derogatory Talmudic variant yod-shin-waw ישו Yeshu ), so that the Renaissance speculations were incorrect.

"), is the inspiration for the text of several pieces of choral music, usually entitled When David Heard ( such as those by Renaissance composers Thomas Tomkins and Thomas Weelkes, or American composers Eric Whitacre, Joshua Shank, and Norman Dinerstein ).

The Book of Joshua () is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and of the Old Testament.

The book is structured in two roughly equal parts, the story of the campaigns of the Israelites in central, southern and northern Canaan and the destruction of their enemies, followed by the division of the conquered land among the twelve tribes ; the two parts are framed by set-piece speeches by God and Joshua commanding the conquest and at the end warning of the need for faithful obedience of the Law ( torah ) revealed to Moses.

Although tradition holds that it was written by Joshua, it is probable that it was written by multiple editors and authors far removed from the time.

The earliest parts of the book are possibly chapters 2 – 11, the story of the conquest ; more certain is that this section was then incorporated into an early form of Joshua that was part of then original Deuteronomistic history, written late in the reign of king Josiah ( reigned 640 – 609 BCE ); it seems clear that the book was not completed until after the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians in 586, and possibly not until after the return from the Babylonian exile late in the 6th century.

( Chapter 1 is the first of three important moments in Joshua marked with major speeches and reflections by the main characters ; here first God and then Joshua make speeches about the goal of conquest of the Promised Land ; at chapter 12, Joshua looks back on the conquest ; and at chapter 23 Joshua gives a speech about what must be done if Israel is to live in peace in the land ).

Joshua, like most of the Bible, is anonymous.

There is now general agreement that Joshua was composed as part of a larger work, the Deuteronomistic history, stretching from Deuteronomy to Kings.

The prevailing scholarly view is that Joshua is not a factual account of historical events.

The apparent setting of Joshua is the 13th century ; this was a time of widespread city-destruction, but with a few exceptions ( Hazor, Lachish ) the destroyed cities are not the ones the Bible associates with Joshua, and the ones it does associate with him show little or no sign of even being occupied at the time.

In Judges, Samuel and Kings Israel becomes faithless and God ultimately shows his anger by sending his people into exile, but in Joshua Israel is obedient, Joshua is faithful, and God fulfills his promise and gives them the land.
